All Roads To Full Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell Transparency Lead Directly To The NPA · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to talk a
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: little bit more about the non prosecution Agreement. The Jeffrey
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Epstein Non Prosecution Agreement, signed in two thousand and seven,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: is one of the most egregious miscarriages of justice in
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: modern American legal history. On its face, the agreement was
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: already a sweetheart deal. Epstein was allowed to plead guilty
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to two state level prostitution charges despite a federal investigation
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: identifying dozens of underage victims. But what makes the MPa
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: even more disturbing is how it was deliberately constructed to
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: be open ended and opaque, shielding not only Epstein but
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: potentially scores of unnamed co conspirators from federal charges. The
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: language of the agreement did not just protect Epstein, It
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: extended immunity to any potential co conspirator without naming them.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: This wasn't just unusual, it was unheard of and is
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a glaring unresolved question who exactly was the DOJ protecting.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: By leaving the NPA open ended in vague, federal prosecutors
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: created a legalist gay patch large enough to smuggle an
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: entire network of predators through it allowed enablers like Lane Maxwell,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Jean Luke Brunel, Sarah Kellen, Leslie Groff, and others to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: operate with a degree of legal impunity that defies logic
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and basic morality. This kind of sweeping immunity, negotiated in secret,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: never revealed to the victims, and later weaponized a block
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: further accountability, was not just an oversight, it was strategic.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: The Department of Justice, under the guidance of Alexander Acosta,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: as the middleman, who was pressured from higher ups like
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Mark Philippe and Michael Mukaesy, crafted a deal that was
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: not meant to serve justice. It was meant to bury it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: The NPA's open ended nature also enabled the Department of
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Justice to dodge public scrutiny and congressional oversight for over
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a decade. It wasn't until twenty nineteen, when Epstein was
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: arrested again on federal charges in New York, that the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: public truly began to understand just how scandalous the original
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: deal had been. Even then, the DOJ maintained its silence,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: refusing to release internal communication about who approved the agreement
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: or why such a broad immunity clause was included. Key evidence,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: including the infamous data gap in alex Acosta's emails, remains unexplained.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: What we're left with is a carefully manufactured black hole
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in the federal record, one that conveniently benefits everyone involved
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in shielding Epstein. There is no universe in which the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: inclusion of unnamed co conspirators in a non prosecution agreement
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: should be viewed as standard or acceptable prosecutorial conduct. Federal
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: prosecutors are supposed to seek justice for victims, not draft
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: blanket immunity clauses for sexual traffickers and their financiers. Epstein
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: NPA explicitly granted immunity to people who hadn't even been indicted. Yet.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That's not a legal document. It's a firewall, a firewall
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: against discovery, depositions, subpoenas, and above all, accountability. And no
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: matter how much time passes, that stain on the Department
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of Justice doesn't wash away. Another damning aspect of the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: open ended NPA is how it preemptively silenced the survivors.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: The deal was orchestrated without their knowledge, indirect violation of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the CVRA, which requires that victims be informed of any
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: plea deal. The secrecy surrounding the NPA wasn't accidental. It
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: was a tactical decision. The DOJ knew the victims would object,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: they knew the public would be outraged, so they buried
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the deal and gambled that no one would ever look
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: closely enough. They lost that gamble, but they're still refusing
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to admit that the game was rigged. Furthermore, the open
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: ended nature of the NPA created a danger is precedent
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in federal law enforcement. It showed that if you're rich enough,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: connected enough, or useful enough to a powerful interests, the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: rule book gets rewritten for you. It was a message
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: to every predator in a position of power, the Department
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of Justice is open for business if the price is right.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And since Epstein's death, not one of the co conspirators
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: originally shielded by that agreement has been brought to justice
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: in a meaningful way. Claim Maxwell was the exception, not
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the rule, and even her sentence pells in comparison to
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the magnitude of the crimes. The fact that the NPA
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: remains unrevised, unretracted, and fundamentally unaccounted for is a grotesque
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: insult to the survivors and the public. Every time the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: DOJ issues a press release about transparency, justice, or victim advocacy,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the very existence of that agreement mocks their words. If
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the DOJ were serious about transparency, they would release the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a full internal documentation that led to the NPA, including emails,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: meeting notes, legal drafts, and communications with outside attorneys like
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Jay Lefkowitz and Alan Dershowitz. Until then, everything they say
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: about writing past wrongs is hollow. Equally concerning is how
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the open ended immunity clause has protected individuals with deep
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: connections to finance, intelligence, and international diplomacy. Names like Les Wexner,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Glenn Dubin, Leon Black, and others continue to circulate, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: yet not one of them has faced criminal indictment. Could
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it be that the NPA was designed not just to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: protect Epstein's immediate circle, but to safeguard a much broader
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: power structure that had a vested interest in keeping Epstein operational.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: That question lingers like smoke over a fire the DOJ
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: never intended to extinguish. And look, this is not just
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: about a flawed plea deal, It's about institutional betrayal. The
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Department adjusted didn't just fail the victims of Jeffrey Epstein.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: It collaborated in their silencing. It architected a legal shield
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: for sexual exploitation on a scale rarely seen in American history.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And because the NPA was left open ended, it remains
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a living instrument of that betrayal, a dominant virus in
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the legal system that still prevents full accountability from being realized.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: That's the weight of this agreement. That's why it can't
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: be forgotten, and that's why this conversation is far from over.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Until every corner of the Epstein network is exposed, until
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: every name protected by that deliberately vague clause is known,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: until the DOJ reckons with its role in this catastrophe,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the NPA will remain a symbol of the role at
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the heart of American justice. It wasn't just a deal.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: It was a protection racket written in legal leese, and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: o serious reckoning with Epstein's crimes can ever happen until
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: that agreement is blown open, every name under a dack,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: every decision maker dragged into the light. Only then can
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: we begin to talk about justice. Despite the enormous stain
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the Epstein Non Prosecution Agreement has left on the credibility
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: of the Department of Justice. The path to undoing it
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: is riddled with legal land mines. The NPA was structured
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to be nearly bulletproof, precisely because the people who designed
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: it understood how outrageous it was. It wasn't merely a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: prosecutorial decision. It was an intentional preemptive shield designed to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: withstand future scrutiny. That means the normal routes of challenge,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: such as appealing a plea deal or reopening a case,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: are severely limited, if not outright blocked. However, that doesn't
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: mean that all hope is lost. The legal system may
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: be slow, corrupted, or hesitant, but it's not entirely without
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: mechanisms for correction. The most promising legal avenue lies in
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the argument that the NPA violated the s In twenty nineteen,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a Florida federal judge ruled that federal prosecutors, including Alexandra Acosta,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: broke the law by not informing Epstein's victims about the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: NPA while it was being negotiated. The ruling acknowledged that
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the victims were deliberately kept in the dark, a constitutional
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: violation of their rights. Unfortunately, despite this victory. The Eleventh
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Circuit Court of Appeals later reversed the ruling on a technicality,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: claiming the CVRA didn't apply until charges were formally filed. Still,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: this legal precedent leaves a window a bit narrow for
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: further litigation or potential Supreme Court review. Another possible remedy
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: could emerge through congressional action. While Congress cannot directly repeal
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: an individual NPA, it can investigate the DOJ's handling of
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the Epstein case, subpoena relevant records, and expose the architects
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: of the deal. This is not merely symbolic. Public Congressional
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: hearings can bring national attention back to the NPA, forced
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: previously shielded officials to testify under oath, and create political
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: pressure to reopen the case. A House or Senate judiciary
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: committee could, in theory refer individuals involved in the cover
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: up for a prosecution depending on what it uncovered. If
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: nothing else, they can make it impossible for the DOJ
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to keep hiding behind vague statements and redacted documents. The
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: DOJ itself could also technically revisit the terms of the NPA.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: While rare, there is legal precedent for the Department of
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Justice in validating a non prosecution agreement if it's found
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to have been secured through fraud, misconduct, or bad faith.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: The Epstein NPA meets all three criteria. It was negotiated
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: without victim input, gave immunity to unnamed individuals, and deliberately
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: avoided public scrutiny. If there was a genuine appetite for
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: justice within the do especially under a reform minded attorney general,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: they could challenge the legality and ethical foundation of the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: agreement and reopen parts of the investigation under the banner
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of correcting institutional abuses. Then there's the option of state
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: level prosecution. The NPA was a federal deal. It does
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: not apply to state attorneys general or local prosecutors in
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: jurisdiction where Epstein committed as crimes. This is why the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: US Virgin Islands has been able to sue Epstein's estate
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and why New York authorities were able to bring charges
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: against Epstein in twenty nineteen. Despite the NPA, states like
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: New York and Florida still have jurisdiction over many elements
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: of Epstein's operation, including potential financial crimes, trafficking offenses, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: obstruction by enablers. Any state willing to show spine could,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: in theory, charge Epstein's co conspirators tomorrow if they weren't
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: politically entangled themselves. Civil litigation is another are a powerful tool.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Survivors can continue to sue individuals and institutions who are
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: involved in enabling Epstein, regardless of the NPA. This has
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: already happened with JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and individuals
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: like Leon Black. Civil courts are not bound by the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: NPA's terms the way federal prosecutors are. That means evidence
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: can still come out, discovery can still be forced, depositions
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: can still be taken under oath, and dirty secrets can
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: be dragged into the light. Even if the NPA tries
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to smother the criminal route. Civil litigation may not deliver
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: prison time, but it can expose the infrastructure of Epstein's
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: network in devastating detail. Public records lawsuits also remain a
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: viable option. Investigative journalists and legal advocacy groups can and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: should continue to file Freedom of Information Act lawsuits demanding
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the release of documents related to the NPA, internal DOJ
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: emails and communication with Epstein's legal team. These lawsuits are
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: slow and often met with redactions, but persistence matters. The
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: more information that becomes public, the harder it is for
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the government to continue defending the indefensible. Sunshine in this
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: case is not just a disinfectant, it's a wrecking ball.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: The people who signed off on this deal are banking
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: on the public forgetting Freedom of Information Act is how
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you make sure they never get that luxury. There's also
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the nuclear option. Appointing a special council, a truly independent
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: prosecutor with subpoena power and the authority to investigate dojman's conduct,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: could re examine the Epstein NPA from top to bottom.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: They could follow the paper trail on earth who approved
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the co conspirator clause and determine whether criminal conduct occurred
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: in the process. A special council could interview survivors, compel
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: testimony from officials like Acosta, and reopen long dormant cases
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: against Epps's facilitators. But make no mistake, the appointment of
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: a special counsel would require political will, public outrage, and
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: pressure so immense that the DOJ could no longer ignore it. Additionally,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: legislative reform could be pushed to outlaw or strictly regulate
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the use of anonymous immunity clauses in non prosecution agreements.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Congress could pass a law stating that any future NPA
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: that includes unnamed individuals is automatically null and void. They
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: could also mandate full victim notification and public disclosure of
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: all federal non prosecution agreements going forward. While this wouldn't
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: undo the Epstein deal directly, it would close the loophole
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: for the future, and more importantly, send a message to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: prosecutors and defense attorneys alike what happened with Epstein will
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: never be tolerated again. And finally, there's the court of
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: public opinion. The NPA is only untouchable as long as
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the public remains quiet. Sustain pressure through investigative reporting, podcasting,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: survivor advocacy, and relentless public inquiry can't keep the issue alive.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: The DOJ is banking on Epstein being old news. But
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: if a survivors and those who care about the truth
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: refuse to let go of the MPa, it will continue
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: to haunt the department like a phantom limb of its
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: own corruption. The more sunlight we pour on it, the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: more likely someone with real power be it a judge, journalist, prosecutor,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: or a politician, will finally step up and tear it apart.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Because if there's one enduring truth about Epstein's non prosecution agreement,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: it's that it was never designed to be just a
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: plea deal. It was a firewall, it containment strategy, and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: above all, a protective cloak for the men and women
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: behind the curtain, many of whom still haven't seen a
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: single consequence. For the roles they played. The open ended language,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the anonymous co conspirator clause, the clandestine negotia siations, it
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: all points to an operation that wasn't built to serve justice,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: but to manage fallout. The DOJ wasn't prosecuting Epstein, they
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: were burying him alive before his secrets could rise to
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the surface. And now, long after his alleged suicide, the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: wreckage from that deal is still poisoning any real chance
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: of closure. We are left in a place where justice
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: feels less like a constitutional right and more like a
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: pr campaign. Every time a DOJ spokesperson utters the word
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: no one is above the law, the Epstein NPA stands
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: in defiance, like a middle finger carved into granite it's
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the smoking gun of institutional hypocrisy, signs sealed and hidden
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: from the very victims it claimed to protect. And the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: most shameful part, the architects of that deal are still
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: collecting pensions, sitting on boards, lecturing at universities, and pretending
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: they weren't accomplices to the most grotesque cover up in
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: recent memory. The vivers, meanwhile, are asked to move on,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to accept that the man who raped them got a
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: thirteen month slap on the wrist, that the system conspired
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: in secret to protect his enablers, and that the truth
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: about what happened behind those closed doors may never be
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: fully revealed. They're told to be grateful that Glaine Maxwell
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: went to prison, as if one conviction is supposed to
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: serve as a blanket pardon for an entire operation that
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: span decades, continents, and powerful institutions. But the survivors haven't forgotten,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and they shouldn't be expected to. And what's worse is
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the strategic silence. Every branch of government that touched the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Epstein case, the DOJ, the FBI, even the federal judiciary
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: has mastered the art of inertia. They dragged their feet
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: cite protocol shrug off accountability with well rehearsed vagueness. We
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: can't comment on ongoing investigations. We're committed to justice. The
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: matter has been reviewed. These statements mean nothing, wallpaper meant
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to cover rot. The only thing that will force change
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: is unrelenting pressure, the kind of pressure that comes not
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: from the headlines, but from heat, sustained, targeted, and uncompromising.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: That pressure needs to come from every direction. Survivors refusing
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: to back down, journalists refusing to sanitize, citizens refusing to forget.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Congressional committees must be pushed to reopen inquiries. Whistle Blowers
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: inside the DOJ must be empowered to speak. Prosecutors at
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the state level must be shamed into doing what federal
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: prosecutors fell to. And civil lawsuits must continue prying open
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the vault of secrets that the NPA tried so desperately
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: to seal shut. This is a battle of attrition, and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it can't be won by trusting the system to fix itself.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: We cannot afford to look at the Epstein NPA as
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: all close chapter. It's not a historical curiosity. It's a
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: live wire. It's implications to echo in courtrooms and go
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: government buildings and in the private estates of men who
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: think they got away with it. If we let this
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: deal stand unchallenged, we send a signal that wealth and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: influence can still purchase immunity. We validate the playbook of secrecy, silence,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and strategic compromise, and we tell every future predator with
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: the right connections that they too will be protected if
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: their secrets are dangerous enough. What we're confronting isn't just
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: a legal failure, it's a moral one. The NPA is
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: a legal document soaked in cowardice. Every signature on it
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: is a mark of betrayal, betrayal of the law, betrayal
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: of the victims, betrayal of the public. Wasn't justice. It
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: was insurance, insurance for the powerful, insurance that no matter
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: how monstrous the crimes, someone at the DOJ would always
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: be willing to look the other way. And until that
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: betrayal is undone, there will be no restoration of faith
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: in the system not allowed it. The time for half
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: measures have long since passed. If the DOJ wants to
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: reclaim an ounce of its credibility, it must take a
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: torch to this agreement, rescind it investigate those who brokeered it,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: name the co conspirators. It was designed to shield. Anything
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: less is complicity. Anything less is a continued cover up,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: just with a different code of pain. The survivors deserve
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: more than statements. They deserve action, and the rest of
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: us deserve a government that doesn't sell out justice behind
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: closed doors. Yo, this isn't about revenge. It's about a reckoning.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: A reckoning with the fact that our legal system was
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: hijacked by people who saw victims as obstacles, not human beings.
